How to Make the Perfect Iced Matcha Latte at Home

Grown and hand-picked in central Japan for centuries, UJIDO Matcha combines old-world tradition with unparalleled, new-world taste. Whether you are seeking a smooth, mindful morning ritual or an afternoon pick-me-up, crafting an iced matcha latte at home offers a velvety-rich, creamy experience that feels like an everyday luxury.

Here is how to elevate your daily routine with a perfectly balanced, cafe-quality iced matcha latte using our Ceremonial Blend Matcha Powder.

Ingredients & Tools

  • UJIDO Ceremonial Blend Matcha Powder: ¼ to ½ teaspoon
  • Water (Hot, not boiling): 2oz
  • Milk of Choice (Oat, Almond, or Dairy): 6-8oz
  • Sweetener (Optional): Honey, maple syrup, or a touch of monkfruit
  • Ice: Fresh ice cubes
  • Whisk: Traditional bamboo whisk (chasen) or a handheld electric frother

Step-by-Step Preparation

  1. Sift & Measure: Measure  ¼ to ½  teaspoon of UJIDO Ceremonial Blend into a small bowl or cup. Sifting ensures a completely smooth texture without clumping.

  2. Whisk with Intention: Pour in 2oz of hot water. Using a bamboo whisk in a "W" motion (or an electric frother), mix until the powder is fully dissolved and a light, delicate froth forms on top.

  3. Sweeten to Taste: If you prefer a sweeter profile, stir in a touch of honey or monkfruit sweetener while the matcha base is still warm.

  4. Build Over Ice: Fill a tall glass with fresh ice cubes and pour in your choice of cold milk.

  5. The Layered Pour: Slowly pour the whisked UJIDO matcha over the milk to create a stunning, vibrant green layer. Stir gently to combine and enjoy.

The UJIDO Difference: Shade-grown and slow-ground, UJIDO infuses the richness of authentic matcha with the power of L-theanine, chlorophyll, and antioxidants. We offer a ceremonious taste with every sip.

Pro Tips for the Ultimate Experience

  • Water Temperature: Avoid boiling water, as it can scorch the delicate tea leaves. Aim for around 160-175°F (70-80°C) to protect the rich, smooth flavor profile.

  • Milk Pairing: For an extra velvety texture that complements the natural notes of green tea, oat milk provides a creamy balance without overpowering the matcha.

  • Syrup: Matcha plays nicely with lavender, caramel, brown sugar, vanilla, and yuzu. Experiment to find your favorite combinations.

Ceremonial blend, ceremonious taste—any way you like it.
